What is Spice?

SPICE is a general-purpose circuit simulator with several built-in semiconductor device models. SPICE performs several analyses, including nonlinear DC, nonlinear transient, and linear AC analysis.

What is the difference between SPICE2 and spice3f?

SPICE3 is based directly on SPICE2. SPICE3F includes AC and DC sensitivity analysis, which was not available in the previous major release (3E).

What are the device types in SPICE3?

Device types include resistors, capacitors, inductors, mutual inductors, switches, linear and nonlinear sources, lossy and lossless transmission lines, BJTs, JFETs, GaAs MESFETS, and MOSFETs. SPICE3 is based directly on SPICE2. SPICE3F includes AC and DC sensitivity analysis, which was not available in the previous major release (3E).

What are the system requirements for SPICE3?

Compiler: A robust C compiler required; SPICE3 is written in old style or K & R C, not ANSI C. GNU gcc has been used successfully with previous versions. Hardware: 286 or faster with a math coprocessor is required for reasonable performance.
